Frida is a movie about Frida Kahlo, the Mexican painter who marries Diego Rivera. I had heard of Frida Kahlo, but I did not know she was married to Diego Rivera. In Texas, Diego Rivera is a big name, and he is revered for his works. Frida seems like …
Death Race (2008 version)
Fast, furious and deadly these are the best words that describe the movie “Death Race” with Jason Statham in a very different role when compared to “Transporter” movies. This film is a remake of the 1975 movie “Death Race 2000″ which had the actors, David Carradine and …
Vehicle 19, movie
The movie Vehicle 19 is a fairly bland, perceptibly low budget movie that offers the usual fast and furious car chases. This time however, most of the activity takes place within a car.
Michael Woods, played by Paul Walker, is visiting Johannesburg, South Africa after being paroled in an …

If you like to eat Mexican, then Mexico is the perfect mexican restuarant for you. I really love going to eat Mexican here becauseof the authenyic mexican feel you get from the place. In addition to having some of the best Mexican …
Shooter movie
I decided to watch “Shooter” because I knew that Mark Wahlberg had the leading role in this film. I really like his acting skills especially after watching him in films such as “The Perfect Storm”, “The Italian Job”, “The Kingdom” and in Martin Scorsese’s “The Departed”. I must admit …
House of Flying Daggers Movie
You add a mix of deception and betrayal, throw in a dash of blindness and what do you have? You have another movie about a plot to kill the emperor or in this case, to kill the leader of a rebel group. Animation is good…not too over the top, …
Harold & Kumar go to White Castle
OK, I’ll admit it. When Harold & Kumar Go To White Castle came out, I figured it was going to be a very stupid movie and didn’t take the time to watch it.
But, last night, on a hunch, I gave it a try. And, I have to say I …

Iron Man 2
I went in to Iron Man 2 with pretty low expectations. Perhaps it was the fact that the studios have had a very hard time matching the successes of the first comic book movies, and I was simply carrying my disappointment at —˜Spiderman 2’ and —˜X-Men 2’ into …
Elizabethtown
I watched Elizabethtown the other night and I must say that on the cover of the DVD, Orlando Bloom looks so very much not handsome at all. But once I watch the story, I was like he’s the most sexiest and handsomest guy ever! That’s something like truly …
Baby Mama (2008)
Baby Mama is another new released movie that I’ve watched. I love the fact that my friend has some free passes since he works in the cinema line. I wouldn’t want to take advantage of his kindness but I really am a movie junkie and a book …
Alfie
Alfie played by Jude Law is a sexually confident and widely flirtatious man who makes it his mission to keep company with the most beautiful women. He never met a woman he didn’t like. His philosophy was there were far too many beautiful women in New York City to …
Film Gremlins
When Gremlins was first released, I was not allowed to see it being too young. My older sister and her best friend were taken to the theater to see the film while I stayed with my Grandfather. I remember that I got a teddy bear in compensation.
I also will …
IMDB
It sounds silly but, IMDB.com is one of my favorite websites on the internet. The website is basically a place to find information on every single movie or television program, and every single person involved in a particular movie or television program.
If you are a movie buff like …
Venture Bros Volume One DVD
I don’t know how I went so long without hearing about the Venture Bros. Truthfully, it is one of the best cartoon shows I have ever seen. And I do mean ever. It certainly outshadows anything and everything else seen on Adult Swim (not …
Billie film
From 1965, Billie is a lighthearted family film about a tomboy’s transformation to a young girl. Along the way, the athletic teenager ends up on the high school track team, much to the chagrin of many.
Patty Duke stars as Billie. With her hair cut short and died …
Vanilla Sky movie
A remake of the dazzling spanish film that came out a few years earlier called Abre los ojos (Open your eyes). The narrative is very complex and tells the story of a handsome man who’s life completely twists around when he is involved in a car accident. The audience …

The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, movie
Like many others who watched and re-watched the “Lord of the Rings” trilogy multiple times, I had high hopes for “The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey.” But, after sitting through the film, I was left very disappointed.
First of all, the film was too long. Now, I understand that “The Hobbit” …
I Spy (starring Owen Wilson and Eddie Murphy)
Whenever there is a movie starring Eddie Murphy and Owen Wilson, it’s best to watch. A couple of weeks back, I remember renting I Spy and it’s such a truly entertaining movie altogether and not to mention I have a few quick laughs as well as long ones. …

Blazing Saddles 30th Anniversary Edition DVD
I have seen a lot of westerns in my time. Not that I am a big fan of westerns or anything, it just so happens that I have happened to view more than my fair share of them, especially the older ones (John Wayne, Ronald Reagan, Jimmy Stewart …
Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen
It is a known fact that sometimes a sequel falls short of the original movie and the fans are left disappointed. This is not the case with this movie.
The movie opened up with lots of action in the first 10 minutes and it was at first confusing why there …
Good Evening, Mr. Wallenberg
Recently I visited the local artsy video store and rented the DVD “Good Evening, Mr. Wallenberg” It is a Swedish film in Swedish, but much of it was in German with English subtitles. Directed by Kjell Grede and released in 1990.
I was extremely impressed by it. I must confess …
300
If you’re a studen of history, you probably remember the Greeks. They invented philosophy and democracy and pretty much help the world down for hundreds of years as the supreme rulers. You may also remember the battle of Thermopylae, where three hundred greek soldiers held their own for days …
Nacho Libre (2006 Film)
Some people might say that the 2006 film starring Jack Black called “Nacho Libre” was rather ridiculous and pointless. I for one, am not that person. While I can see why others would come to the conclusion of naming this film “pointless” I think that they are missing what …
Quartet (film)
The film is set in an eloquent retirement facility in Britain. The facility is a niche facility since it caters to musicians who are retired. That said the theme of the film evolves around two sub-themes of sorts. One sub-theme is about prior Operatic performers who …
Billy Madison
Adam Sandler wrote and starred in this 1995 comedy about a millionaire’s spoiled son Billy, a man in his late 20’s who does nothing all day except live it up by getting wasted, chasing invisible penguins, and looking at pornography on “Nudy magazine Day”. Billy’s father is fed …
No Good Deed (2014 Thriller Movie)
While I admire any attempt at diversifying movies so that non white actors have the rare opportunity of playing some of the main roles, that doesn’t mean I thought the 2014 movie “No Good Deed” was any good. As a matter of fact, it had the terrible luck of being …
Into The Wild
Into the Wild is both touching and inspiring. I guess one of the things I remembered most was that it was based on a true story. That makes me feel a bit sorry for the parents, as I have five wonderful children of my own. I can understand how …
Step Up 3D Movie (2010)
This has got to be my new favorite dance movie of all times! My favorites movies before had been combined of Stomp the Yard and You Got Served, and the other movies that had tried to emulate them had failed, except for this one! This movie is a combination …
Must Love Dogs (2005 movie)
Diane Lane (Sarah) is given the urge from her sisters and friends to get back into the dating scene to find a replacement for her unfaithful ex-husband. Trying Ads in the paper and Ads on the internet, she meets a bounty of potential “Mr. Right” before she finally found …
Movie Moment Of Truth: Broken Pledges
Moment Of Truth: Broken Pledges is a Lifetime movie about a mother who loses her son to college hazing. Evidently, as the story goes, the young man was being inducted into a college fraternity and during the process, was forced to drink copious amounts of alcohol, which in the …
Carter’s Army movie
In 1970, Carter’s Army was released, and somewhere along the line it’s been re-released under the name Black Brigade. Now what is interesting to me is that before writing my review, I was checking out the credits and ran across the first few lines of comments someone made …
Harriet the Spy
“Harriet the Spy” was one of my favourite children’s movies when I was younger. Just recently in fact, I found out that it was the same actress who starred in the movies “Ice Princess” and “Eurotrip” who played the role of Harriet in the movie.
The movie is a …
Rehearsal for Murder movie
I probably haven’t seen Rehearsal for Murder since it came out way back in 1982, but I do remember it. It was a very suspenseful murder mystery, acted very well and presented beautifully. It’s been done in other shows and such before, but this is a good …
Last Samurai Movie
The Last Samuria is truely a box office hit, no doubt about it. When it comes down to onscreen action, this film will leave you with goose-bumps, especially the scene where the ninjas attacked the village (guess you will have to watch it to find out exactly what happened). …
Movie Street kings
This was an excellent movie and I would recommend it to anyone. It has keanuu reeves and some other good actors in it. They are all LAPD, or cops in the movie. It’s hard to explain what the movie is about but I really liked it and so did …
Somewhere movie
I’ve seen many bad movies lately. When I got to see “Somewhere” even if it was a movie for what I have waited a long time. I watched it from inertia. But the movie got me on the wrong foot.
Johnny Marco (played by Stephen Dorff) is a famous action …
Super Mario World - The Wheel Thing
Super Mario World - “The Wheel Thing” is an episode that surpasses the premier episode in action, comedy, animation and music. This one of my favorite episodes of the cartoon series for a couple of reasons. For one, King Koopa and one of his sons, Kooky, actually present themselves …
Kiss Me Again
I chose to see the movie “Kiss Me Again” because I thought it had a good story however, after watching it, I was very disappointed. The acting is not that convincing and there are a lot of emphases on the fiscal aspect of the story rather then the physiological …
The Lair Of The White Worm movie
The Lair Of The White Worm is a silly little fantasy, science fiction, horror type film. The Lair Of The White Worm is probably a cult classic, although I don’t think that many people know of this movie. This movie is about people who find a skull that seems …
Constantine
The movie “Constantine” was actually a movie based upon a comic book called “Hellblazer” the only thing was at the time I saw the movie advertising to be released in theatres, I thought it looked familiar but I didn’t relate it to that same comic. At the time I …
Movie 300
The modern day effect in a classic war epic! Based on the actual historical event of 300 Spartans facing, for sure death, defend there freedom and there land against the will of the older oracles! The characters performance is unreal they all look like body builders and you can …
DarkMan
I think DarkMan is one of the greatest and best super heros ever made. This guy is just awesome and the story about how he became DarkMan is even more amazing. I think the special effects are just great for this movie being made in the year 1990. I had …
The Seven Samurai Movie
“The Seven Samurai” filmed by Akira Kurosawa in 1954 still remains one of the most popular movies of all times. Almost a three and a half hours long, the movie runs with subtitles, so be warned if you find having to read subtitles annoying.
The story takes place in 16 …
Ratatouille
I hate rats so I wasn’t so keen on watching the animated movie Ratatouille. But constant prodding by my bestfriend to see the movie made me give in. Plus the fact that alot of people say it’s a nice movie. Indeed it is. From Pixar Animation Studios and Walt …
